Tomato Prices Come Down To Rs 20 Per Kg In Karnataka As Supply Improves Substantially

“Last week, the average price of tomatoes was Rs 18 to Rs 20 per kg as the supply has improved,” Mysuru APMC Secretary M R Kumaraswamy said.

As per a PTI report, officials said on Monday that the tomato prices in Karnataka have significantly reduced due to the improvement in the supply of the commodity of late. For instance, tomato prices in Mysuru APMC (Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee) came down to Rs 14 per kg on Sunday. The price of tomatoes in the last week averaged around Rs 18 to Rs 20 per kg, helped by the improved supply.

Kumaraswamy also noted that the supply in the market has improved by two to three times as compared to the previous month. This has resulted in a sharp fall in prices.
